Mohanlal looks in three different shades in the film 1971 Beyond Borders which is directed by Major Ravi. Mohanlal shines in his acting and Allu Sirish, Arunoday Singh are in lead role.

A mixed response from audience. Here’s what critics have to say about 1971 Beyond Borders.

The film it’s clear that’s exactly what the director wanted to focus on instead of playing to the gallery. The film puts across the message that fighting wars for “borders and orders” robs away so many lives needlessly.

The positives in the movie are the usage of battle tanks in a Malayalam film, a strong theme supported by powerful performances, brilliant cinematography, good cuts, the captivating music and the enthralling background score.

The film screenplay has too many holes. It looks like a potential story marred by the director’s unrelenting quest to satisfy the Mohanlal fan base. Major Ravi plays a sidekick to Sahadevan, who attains martyrdom in the film.
